Discover the story of the song > The High – Kelela

The protagonist is with her partner, who tells her that he'll do anything for a feeling of excitement or pleasure. She feels his lips on her neck and his hands around her waist, and the rush of adrenaline makes her feel alive. She reflects on how she never knew or cared about this before, but now it's all she thinks about. She wonders why her partner has to leave now, when they both wanted this feeling so much.
